Legislative and Executive (31st May – 04th Jun, 2021)
The Ministry of Interior’s General Department of Prisons (GDP) is preparing
a letter to the Ministry of Health urging the capital-provincial
administrations to coordinate their intervention in the prisons within their
territories due to the high rate of Covid-19 positive test results within
those facilities.
In the first five months of this year, the government provided 10 billion
riel ($2.46 million) through the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) to
25,867 low-income female workers who gave birth to 26,057 babies.
The Cambodian Human Rights Committee (CHRC) has finished the first draft of
the law on the establishment of the National Human Rights Institution and
will continue discussions with other relevant parties soon to finalise the
bill.
